Magformers for Developing Creativity and Imagination
Magformers is the best 3D educational toy for helping children develop creativity and
imagination. Assemble a variety of geometric shapes to create your own Magformers
models. While seeing the 2D shapes change into 3D gures, children can understand
the principle of magnets while growing their imagination and creativity.
Characteristics of Magnets and Principle of Magformers
Magnets have N and S poles. Two magnets will be attracted by their opposite poles,
and each will repel the like pole of the other magnet. Magformers have magnets
embedded inside that rotate on an axis to allow them to attach in an innite number
of ways. This gives children the advantage of connecting shapes in 3D, not just on top
of each other.

Educational Effects of
Magformers According to Age
A critical period that forms 80% of brain development. Through
various sensory stimulation activities and nger movements, the
brain and nervous system are developed.
Educational Effects
●Visual stimuli with the rich colors and shapes of Magformers
●Auditory stimuli with the clear sound of shapes attaching and detaching
●
Developing recognition of colored shapes and distinction of different colored shapes
●
Fostering coordination of eyes and hands while holding, attaching and
detaching Magformers
●
Developing gross and ne motor skills while moving arms, hands and ngers
A period when self-reliance and independence is developed,
which causes behavior based on accomplishment. The ability
to think and express themselves is developed, and creative and
unique play is possible.
Educational Effects
●
Learning the basis of mathematics such as parts and wholes, response and
patterns while combining Magformers and making models
●
Conception of geometric relationships and space by understanding shape and
size comparison, direction and location of right, left, top and bottom
●
Fostering creativity, problem solving skills, self-reliance and a sense of
accomplishment while planning and creating on their own
●Developing verbal expression while expressing planned and nished models
A period to passionately explore objects. While operating
surrounding objects, curiosity increases. Symbolic thinking is
developed, and imaginative and virtual play forms are displayed
overall.
Educational Effects
●Improving ability to operate objects by developing hand control
●
Fostering divergent thinking, imagination and creativity while making desired
shapes
●
Developing modeling capability while creating a form or shape, and understanding
symmetry, conguration, area and lines
A period that enables concrete thinking about objects and
specic reproduction regarding the surrounding world that they
experience. In this process, observation and analytical skills
relating to objects, and logical thinking are developed.
Educational Effects
●
Developing observation, analytical and thinking skills while reproducing various
surrounding objects
●
Developing spatial perception skills while shaping buildings or making 3D models
●
Developing reasoning, logic and thinking skills while predicting and representing
invisible form
●
Developing creative problem solving skills while making and combining complex
objects
●
Forming geometric concepts, acquiring mathematical knowledge and approaching
science with the principle of magnets

More diverse shapes!
With at and curved pieces in various shapes (a total of 27 types), you can
create your desired shapes in more details.
Combination of power and an engine!
By integrating 2 blocks into one, you can simply add more movement to
models.
Magformers SUPER S.T.E.A.M SET?
Magformers Super S.T.E.A.M Set comes with magnetic pieces in various shapes and accessories for children to
experience a variety of movements. The Power Engine Block combined with power and an engine allows them
to alternate inserting various wheels and create many types of vehicles. With air pressure compressed through
a connection with an air block, children can move models they created. While understanding the principles
of various power accessories and playing with them, beyond simply creating many models with magnetic
pieces, children can develop comprehensive thinking in the elds of science, technology, engineering, arts and
mathematics equally.

The Principles of Magformers
- Magnetic Pieces
Magnetic Principles of Magformers
As shown below, Magformers magnets rotate and stick to other poles. They can be attached to any side
of a piece from any direction.
The magnet contained in Magformers is called a neodymium magnet.
It has a slightly different shape than typical ones, however, it has the
same general properties of magnets. As shown below, the same poles
repel and different poles attract each other. The poles are just not
displayed on the pieces.
Magnets that we are familiar with have
N pole and S pole indicated on their
surface. However, Magformers magnets
neither show N pole nor S pole.
